Beth is very insecure about her worth... or rather she's sure about her lack of it. She comes off as a weak character, but I think she's really just resigned to be unmatched.
Kevin is a stronger personality, but he believes he doesn't deserve to be paired up with someone. Hasn't he let enough people down already?
Like it or not, they ae pulled together and so they let go of their doubts and insecurity. Although the story ends happily, I do believe they will have to work for their HEA.

This short, clean story has some lovely moments in the small town, contemporary genre. A light read with a happy conclusion.
Maybe a wee bit rushed in places but this may be due to the length of the novella.

Don’t ever think that God and His people are watching out for you. Sure a sweet story that could have really happened. The writer made me believe so

This was a good short story about two hurting people who come together. Beth is barely holding on and her pay just makes her bills. Kevin, a Vet, is recovering from both physical and emotional scars from his last tour. Things change on the day that Kevin comes into the Magnolia Hills restaurant to drop a delivery. He meets Beth and has a hard time getting her off his mind. He returns and asks her out. Meanwhile a Hurricane is bearing down on their area. Due to a misunderstanding and both getting scared, they call off their dating. Then Kevin realizes it was a mistake, so he heads out into the Hurricane to make things right with Beth. Will he find Beth? Can they get past their hurt and make a new life?

Beth is a hard working gal, down on her luck. Living in a rickety old trailer outside of town, driving a broken down car that doesn't start half the time, behind on all her bills and working double shifts for the Wicked-witch Roberta, to try to catch up.
Kevin is the towns new delivery driver, back from the war and suffering with PTSD.
Can these two lost souls find happiness?
Read on as Lexie tells us their story.

This was a small book with a lot in it! The Author was able to do this by writing as you & I do! You can see the area, feel the weather and the dangers that wait around the corner! But, you also will get a bit of flirting & teasing! I loved Beth & Kevin and all her waitress friends!And, the Sheriff & the bossie owner of the cafe! I received this book for free but, that hasn’t changed my review! Grab one to put on your tbr stack! It is definetly a keeper

This was a nice quick read that I wished was longer.
I feel that there was a few missing pieces that would have made the story better, such as what caused Beth to be so insecure and feel that no guy would be in it for the long haul with her.
I liked the main characters and the story was realistic.
